Typically if a team sends a player down they don't suddenly change their mind and call them up again. There also will be more more send downs or call ups after trade deadline.

Are they allowed to stay in the DSFL for S4, and declare for S5, or whenever they're ready?No everyone will spend one season in DSFL and then be drafted and if they want to stay in the DSFL will be sent back down. These are things that players could tell teams during scouting or after they are drafted. It's a decision to be had between both the player and team most of the time unless the gm is a huge dick, but then they will likely not keep their player when the contract ends or likely the player wouldn't want to sign a deal longer than a season or two.

Every league in the world that I can think of has it as an affiliate league. D-League in NBA, Minors in Baseball, AHL in Hockey, NCAA more or less for Football. Soccer doesn't really have it but they have a send-down version in that they send players on loan to shitty squads.

It's just that they're linked. And IDK, I was picturing a setup like the NFL: pro teams and "developmental" (college) teams are separate. I feel like that makes things easier, in keeping a team together. Although I guess if GMs are willing to send players right back down, then it becomes similar.

So every player will spend 1 season in the DSFL but likely longer as the league grows. I imagine myself drafting another WR in S5 draft to eventually take over for Garden/Cook but those guys aren't retiring for a while so the WR I draft will probably stay in the DSFL for a few seasons before there's a spot for him. I imagine this will become very common for the popular positions like QB, WR, RB, LB, S. However, the unpopular positions like OL, DT, will only play one season in the DSFL before they are called up. Just the way those positions are set up with the amount of talent in each. I think the DSFL will work well, but it all depends on how popular the site gets. The only unfortunate thing is the size of a starting football roster limiting it. You need 23 (offense, defense, 1 K/P) to field a squad and in hockey you only really need 16-19, so not far off but enough to make it more of an issue especially as you get more teams.

Won't the GMs only send down 1 active/team? So there will be, at a max, 8 returning DSFL actives... (08-17-2017, 03:57 PM)124715 Wrote:Won't the GMs only send down 1 active/team?

So like I could stash a couple RBs and WRs and trade them or trade my starters for picks and bring up the DSFL guys. Like my waiver claim Marks - DT couldn't start for us earlier so I would have sent him down to start for you guys. Then after I traded Luke Chunk or let's say he is super active and gets a ton of TPE then I would call him up and maybe send down someone else to make the money work.

The minimum is one per team, so after the draft some teams may send down more if they want. Future seasons players will start their careers being drafted into the DSFL. |
